Direct deposit is a convenient, safe, and reliable way to receive your benefits. You may have your benefit payments deposited directly into your bank account or financial institution.
If you choose direct deposit, you should complete and sign the agreement form linked to at the end of this page. Mail the agreement along with one of your checks (marked “VOID”) showing your account number and your bank's ABA number to:
Your bank or financial institution information will be kept strictly confidential. It is your responsibility to notify your bank or financial institution of your direct deposit arrangement.
Any benefit payment you are eligible to receive before your direct deposit request goes into effect will be mailed to your home address.
If you file your weekly claims by “Easy Call”, you will not receive any notification from the Unemployment Insurance Office that your benefit payment has been deposited into your account. It is your responsibility to verify receipt of benefits with your financial institution.
If a problem with your direct deposit develops, you will be notified by this department and provided information to assist you in resolving the problem. Payments will be sent to your mailing address until the problem is resolved.
It is important that you keep a copy of the “Agreement for Direct Deposit” form.
